Self taught - self styled guitarist, songwriter, artist and guitar teacher, Huw is recognised as one of the UK's finest guitarists. He reads and writes both rock and classical music. Huw is renowned as an original member of Hawkwind and as such, he has been in and out of the band ever since. Born in Harlesden, North London, Huw started playing guitar at school. His first professional gig was in Germany with WINSTON G, a very popular band in Europe. He toured with them continuously for 6 months. The bass player was Pete Becket from PLAYER and LITTLEFEET.

After this jaunt Huw returned to UK and joined HAWKWIND with Dave Brock, Jon Harrison, Nik Turner, Terry Ollis & Dik Mik. He remained with them for next 2 years recording their first 2 LPs, which sell regularly to this day. He left them after an illness in late 1971, and although he occasionally joined them he did not return full time until 1979 when their LP 'LIVE 79’ went straight in the top 10 UK charts. In fact everything they did between 1979 and 1985 was either in the pop, heavy metal or independent charts.

Between 1971 and 1979 Huw did a variety of gigs which included a 2-year acoustic (7 days a week) slog in a vegetarian London restaurant called PASTURES. Here John Butler DEISAL PARK WEST'S singer joined him for 6 months making a duet. Later in 70s John joined Huw in Widowmaker replacing Steve Ellis. Eddy Klima joined him making another duet at Pastures which lasted a further year. He also taught guitar at Dunraven School in Streatham for a year between bands and numerous sessions, one included writing the music for a cartoon, narrated by Viv Stanshall of the BONZO DOG DOO DA BAND. Another session was 6 months with LEO SAYER touring UK & Europe.

Huw formed AMON DIN with Dave Anderson AMON DULS bass player. Later came GALLERY with Rob Rawlinson on Bass from Ian Hunter’s OVERNIGHT ANGELS. He formed MAGILL with Pete Scott from SAVOY BROWN. Huw toured former Yugoslavia with ALEXANDER JOHN (also known as Sasha Mezek) who to this day is the country’s most loved top solo artist. He also joined PRETTY THINGS on one European tour early 90s. Another excellent band he was with was the Trinidadian Band BATTI MAMSELLE, the music had a strong Latin American influence and the lead singer was none other than LONDON BEAT’s Jimmy Chambers. They had a guest spot in ALAN PRICE'S film ‘Alfie Darling’.

He spent 3 1/2 years (from 1975 – 1978) with supergroup WIDOMAKER touring the USA and recording 2 LPs, both of which charted there. This line-up included Steve Ellis - LOVE AFFAIR, Aerial Bender-MOTT THE HOOPLE, Bob Daisley-RAINBOW, Paul Nicholls-LINDISFARNE and John Butler (again)!
